Tipped Scale
sophia Sep 2018
If only we'd known better
That our friendship was breaking.
The foundation we built it on
is now tumbling and shaking.

A roaring ocean of sadness
poured from both our lips.
We burdened us with waves
it crashed us into bits.

You gave me your burdens
and I carried them to set you free.
They were gifts I wanted
but didn't necessarily need.

We wanted to heal us
but instead we ripped us apart.
Instead of healing wounds,
We gave us more scars.

I tried to heal you
with a needle and some thread.
And I thought I could fix you
when you needed God instead.

We gave each other a lot
but not all of it was good.
Our friendship was a tipped scale
I think we knew it would.

I can't balance you
like you can't balance me.
If we keep our strings so tangled up
we will never be free.

I still love you
and I know you do me.
But I just can't heal you
like God can for eternity.

Fading Innocence
sophia Sep 2018
You outshine the darkest night,
your robe the pale moon.
A beauty unimaginable,
a crown of roses bloom.

The tender touch of moonlight,
is the love the sea adores.
A glittering fragrance of starry flowers,
I know they are only yours.

These words were composed,
like music of the richest colors.
For you alone and only you,
would I love like a mother.

I am not a stormy ocean,
yet feelings unravel as so.
Your untouched heart reverses,
and I hear their tales of woe.

Innocence like the wind,
it blows so swiftly away.
The genuine smile so eager to love,
is now clouded today.
Just my experience of losing my innocent and carefree mind of my childhood as I grow into an adult.

monstrosity
sophia Aug 2018
to all those cruel monsters out there

be aware of the hearts

that so easily tear

like a glass prism

filled with color

and so much love

but with little effort

you can easily break them





to all those jealous lovers out there

first ask the other one in your pair

what had happened or what they'd done

don't let your red jealousy

blot out the yellow sun





to all those cruel monsters out there

don't be

a monstrosity to humanity

don't paint your lover red

because it might all be in your head

and you just might hurt them

if you turn your rationality away

and lead your heart astray





don't hurt an innocent

don't break your lover's heart

because by doing so

you tear yourself apart





maybe she's done a bad thing

and broke your valuable trust

but don't measure her faults

with a long string

if she apologizes,

forgive her

if she leaves,

just miss her





maybe he's not as good as you thought

but don't let yourself be bought

by pretty things and subtle things

you should only be sought

if he continues,

leave him

if he stops,

love, forgive, and forget





please, don't be

a monstrosity to humanity

don't have a jealous monster

living inside of you

like it lives inside of me

my hands
                
                             they hurt

                                              my burdens

                                                        ­          are too much

                                                           ­                               my hands
                                                           ­         
                                                                ­        have had

                                                      enough­

                           they can carry

            no longer

— The End —
